> Have you ever been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome or any form of autism? I can't say for sure based on just your post, but what you described sounds to me exactly what an adult person with Asperger's Syndrome goes through.
Never been diagnosed but have wondered about asperger traits/nonverbal learning disorder.
Here is a fuller list of things i know about myself.
Social interaction problems.
Have difficulty with small talk and initiating conversations.
Only couple of friends in 3D over 55 years
Much better at verbal IQ questions than nonverbal/ visual spatial.
Not good at constructional tasks. Can't do jigsaws meant for children.
Started doing well academically but gradual decline starting at 9.5
Had to have handwriting lessons.
Bad at sports especially gymnastics.
Have difficulty when it comes to organising and planning.
Messy and untidy
Poor sense of direction and afraid of going too far in case i get lost.
Not good in crowds as difficulty judging distances and get overwhelmed by the toing and froing
Poor? balance was nearly 14 before i managed to ride a bike.
Poor drawing skills.
Struggle with change.
General anxiety
social anxiety
depression
